Arsenal and Chelsea slayer Harry Kane would be a great signing for Man Utd - Phil Neville

Kane, who found the back of the net 31 times last season, is reportedly high up on Louis van Gaal's shopping list.

The Dutchman, who successfully guided United back to the Champions League, is understood to be a big admirer of the former Leyton Orient loan star and is allegedly willing to shell out a staggering £45m to acquire the 21-year-old's services this summer.

Tottenham are keen to retain Kane's services and are understood to be willing turn down any offers the receive for the England international.

But Neville, who spent 11 years at Old Trafford, believes Van Gaal should test the north Londoners' resolve this summer.

"He would cost a lot of money and I'm sure Tottenham don't want to lose him, but I think being in the Champions League, United have got Robin van Persie, Wayne Rooney and James Wilson, so they probably do need one more striker," he said.

"I think United will sign a quality player from European football, whether that's England or abroad and he fits that bill and if they can get Harry Kane here then that would be a fantastic signing.

"I'm a big fan of Harry Kane, he's got a great attitude, nothing seems to faze him and he's answered every question that's been thrown his way."
